Burned My Tongue

Woke up this morning about a quarter to five

Said the prayer you'd taught me to keep myself alive,

It burned my tongue.

It burned my tongue.

Fried some grains in butter,

Said a simple grace,

Sat down at the table,

Fed my greedy face.

It burned my tongue.

It burned my tongue.

Looked out at the ocean

I could see it so clear.

Said the only name

I can ever stand to hear.

It burned my tongue

It burned my tongue.

When i ask you to sing with me

I wish you'd sing along.

Thirty years in this world --

Thirty years too long.

It burns my tongue.

It burns my tongue.

You tooks away my friends.

You took my will to live.

I gave you all i got.

What more have i got to give?

It burns my tongue.

It burns my tongue.

It burns my tongue.

It burns my tongue
